Logitech G5 or G7 mouse?

Anyone tried both?

Looking for one to play FPS.

thankyou very much

The G7 response feels brilliant in FPS. And the resolution change buttons are great for sniping.

The G7 is the best mouse I've ever used. Batteries last a day or 2, but charge VERY quickly and can be changed, quite literally, within 3 seconds

I would go for the G7 or try the MX1000

both great products

Definately the G7, just finished playing a nice game of Counterstrike with mine - headshots galore

Dreadi · 11 May 2006 at 23:15

pretty sure my G7 is playing up

G7 is a cracking mouse if you like a cordless one. I like the G5 though, awesome!

Used G7 for a while, best mouse I have ever used

THC_SsSsSnake · 11 May 2006 at 23:56

thanks guys, apart from one being cordless is there any other difference?

IIRC the G5 has weights in the base instead of a battery. You can change the way its loaded, makes it go faster I suppose :eek:

Another vote for the G7, best mouse I've ever owned.

THC_SsSsSnake · 12 May 2006 at 00:05

G7 seems very popular

thanks Paulus

I love my G7, I can pretend I'm reloading a weapon when I change batteries

hold the mouse upside down in my right hand, press the battery release button with your thumb on your right hand

slap the other battery in with the other hand

< ---- doesn't get out much hehe

I use a MX1000, part of the Logitech DiNovo...don't find the mouse lags when I have the dongle in a USB port on the back of my monitor

I'm sure the G7 owners will say its millions of times less responsive than a G7 though

I love my mx1000, the batteries last a good week, and it recharges very quickly. I've owned an mx500 and an mx510 and noticed very little difference in response time. Plus the weighty feel and large nature of the mouse suits my ham-fistedness to a treat.

You've made me want to buy a new keyboard.

Ant :cool:

a G5 owner here.

Best mouse ever, the adjustable weights are useful to make it feel a bit more comfy. And the adjustable resolution, especially once you make use of the software, are great. run mine in 1000/1500/2000 dpi modes.

Love it. Even ebtter than the old MX510 I had. shame the MX 510 looked nicer, really.
